Interview
Not really a true interview process. Apply, get accepted, go to training. About as easy as it gets for federal work. Process was about two months from applying to my first day.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Shelton, WA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Post Master didn't realize four people were waiting for an interview with appointment times varying from 11:00-1:00. Then called us all in to "interview" at the same time. Just asked us if we had a manual transmission and if we have a criminal record. Not sure it was even legal for her to ask that in front of over applicants.
Offered the job, but only 1 day every 2 weeks! Crazy! I figured getting a job with the postal service would be awesome, but not offering permanent jobs anymore and the reviews I've seen I'm not so sure anymore.
